Tuesday Evening

Edwin Jagger DE86 head
Ikon handle
Bic chrome platinum
Simpson Chubby 2
RazoRock XXX
Aqua Velva

A day to love the Chubby. Loaded it heavily from the XXX and it produced the best lather I've had from this brush to date. Pure luxury and a great, comfortable shave
 
Prep: A good, hot, bath.
Razor: Ikon Slant with Templ8 wave handle
Blade: Sputnik (2)
Brush: Simpsons Commodore X3 best
Cream: Castle Forbes Lime
Aftershave: Proraso Green AS

Removed 5 days growth with ease and great comfort. Cracked the CF now after a couple of not so good lathers!
 
Went for the classic shave today, and very nice it was too. The new EJ DE87811 loaded with a Feather blade was very good to use, very happy with my recent purchases. Oh and so very smooooooth! :D

After the usual 1-2 minute hot towel prep:

vintage rebranded Simpsons best
Schick F type injector/Gillette Platinum Plus (NOS)
Xpec SC
Neutrogena oil free moisture
Jean Desprez 'Versailles' EdT (old version for men)

Man, I am sorta stuck on this injector right now. Craziest thing, but it shaves so darn well for me. Been using this shaving cream a bunch too. About as good a cream as I've ever tried and it turns out I DO like the scent.

This old EdT has about the best drydown I have ever huffed. Takes a couple hours ro get there, but it lasts for many hours with excellent sillage to boot. Really classy and rich frag, at least to my nose. Heh, found this large unused 4.2 ounce bottle for a few bucks years ago at an estate sale. Worth trying a small decant........
